Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry researchers at the University of South Carolina measured disinfection by-products in bottled water, with total disinfection by-products ranging from 0.01–22.4 µg/L and compared ...
Phys.org / Wildfires trigger massive soil loss for decades, new global map shows
Wildfires are devastating events that destroy forests, burn homes and force people to leave their communities. They also have a profound impact on local ecosystems. But there is another problem that has been largely overlooked ...
Phys.org / New state of matter discovered in a quantum material
At TU Wien, researchers have discovered a state in a quantum material that had previously been considered impossible. The definition of topological states should be generalized.
Phys.org / Austrian cow shows first case of flexible, multi-purpose tool use in cattle
In 1982, cartoonist Gary Larson published a now-iconic "Far Side" comic titled "Cow Tools." In it, a cow stands proudly beside a jumble of bizarre, useless objects that are "tools" in name only. The joke hinged on a simple ...

Betelgeuse is the star that everybody can't wait to see blow up, preferably sooner rather than later. That's because it's a red supergiant on the verge of becoming a supernova and there hasn't been one explode this close ...
Phys.org / Physicists uncover hidden magnetic order in the mysterious pseudogap phase
Physicists have uncovered a link between magnetism and a mysterious phase of matter called the pseudogap, which appears in certain quantum materials just above the temperature at which they become superconducting. The findings ...
Phys.org / Quantum 'alchemy' made feasible with excitons
What if you could create new materials just by shining a light at them? To most, this sounds like science fiction or alchemy, but to physicists investigating the burgeoning field of Floquet engineering, this is the goal. ...
